死刑复核程序之再审视——以审判程序为视角

On Procedure for Review of Death Sentence——From the Point of View of Trial Procedure

我国关于死刑复核程序的一些法律规定违背了诉讼原理,使死刑复核这一审判程序蒙上了行政化色彩。死刑案件关乎公民的生命,在立法不能废除死刑的现实下,应从程序上严格控制死刑的适用。死刑复核程序的完善应以审判程序为基点,遵从审判原理,对其进行诉讼化改造。改造的重点是按照诉讼"等腰三角形"模式吸收控辩两方参与程序,保障辩方的辩护权,并对审判组织、期限等问题予以明确。

In China,some legal rules of the review of death sentence violate the intention of legislators.Death sentence cases deal with the lives of citizens.At present since we cannot abolish death penalty,we can control it strictly by litigation procedure.We should improve the review of death penalty based on the trial procedure and on the trial principles,and transform it into litigation procedure.The reform should pay attention to the litigation pattern called 'An isosceles triangle' which contains prosecutor and defender,ensures the right of the defender and clarifies the judge members and judge deadlines.
